2026 Jeonpo Coffee Festival Dates, Opening Ceremony & Stamp Tour – What to Know Before Visiting Jeonpo Cafe Street with Kids

Under the autumn sky,
the alleys of Jeonpo fill with the smell of coffee ☕
The 10th Jeonpo Coffee Festival (전포커피축제)
runs for two days, October 17 (Sat) to 18 (Sun),
around Jeonpo Cafe Street in Busan.
The poster calls the venue “around Jeonpo Nolimaru.”
I’ve summarized the Busanjin-gu notice (September 22)
and the text on the festival poster.
🎪 About the Festival

According to Busanjin-gu’s culture and tourism site,
the festival began to celebrate Jeonpo Cafe Street
being picked by The New York Times as a “place to go” in 2017,
and it is Busan’s first coffee festival.
Since 2018 it has been held every October.
Jeonpo Cafe Street grew up in a back alley of Seomyeon
once lined with hardware and tool shops,
as cafés moved in one by one.
The district’s guide says about 170 cafés, restaurants and craft shops
sit alongside some 300 electrical wholesalers and tool shops.
This year, the merchant associations of three alleys,
Jeonpo Cafe Street, Jeonpo Gonggu-gil and Jeonpo Saitgil,
are cooperating on the festival.

🚇 Getting There & Parking
The Jeonpo Cafe Street guidebook published by Busanjin-gu
gives these directions.
| Transport | Where to get off / how to go |
|---|---|
| Busan Metro Line 2 | Jeonpo Station, Exit 7 |
| Busan Metro Line 1 | Seomyeon Station → about 10 minutes’ walk to Nolimaru |
| Car | Private parking lots around Jeonpo Cafe Street |
The guidebook was made in 2017,
so check the route on a map app before you go.
Festival parking and road closure information
isn’t in the district notice yet.
👨👩👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids
Since coffee is the focus,
the fun for kids is mostly the dessert booths
and events like the stamp tour and roulette game.
The notice doesn’t list any programs just for children.
If you go on Saturday, you can catch the 16:00 opening ceremony
and then continue in the evening
with the Seomyeon Busking Festival (18:00)
or the theme performance (19:00).
To see the opening and the Seomyeon street shows,
go on the 17th (Sat)
